Android: Anyway to know if 'Unknown Sources' is checked?

Question

Is there any way to find out if the user has checked the 'Unknown Sources' checkbox in the 'Application settings' menu?

Answer 1

You can use the INSTALL_NON_MARKET_APPS setting. Something like that :

boolean canInstallFromOtherSources = Settings.Secure.getInt(Settings.Secure.INSTALL_NON_MARKET_APPS) == 1;
